Field Close

When a technician submits their post-job checklist, Field Close has already done the sorting for the Service Manager. The job gets tagged by what the technician reported. Follow-up items land on the board, tied to the right job and customer. Safety and quality issues are flagged and pushed to the top of the review queue. Any job where the work could not be finished is marked before end of day. By the time the Service Manager opens the end-of-day review, every job is tagged, triaged, and queued, so the review starts from a sorted board.

The promise

The Service Manager's end-of-day review stops being a slog through raw checklist submissions. Every job is already tagged, triaged, and queued by the time they look at it. The flagged safety issue is at the top instead of buried on page two. The follow-up tasks are already created and tied to the right jobs. The job where the work could not be finished is marked before the office calls it a day, so it does not turn into a surprise customer call the next morning.

How it works

The path from input to value.

  1. 01

    The form surfaces after a job

    The post-job checklist is hosted on the platform. The technician fills it out from the field after each job, on any device.

  2. 02

    The checklist is submitted

    When the technician submits, the platform picks it up right away and begins processing against the job record.

  3. 03

    The job is tagged

    Based on what the technician reported, the job receives tags automatically: repair completed, part needed, follow-up required, access issue, and so on.

  4. 04

    Follow-up items land on the board

    Any item the technician flagged for follow-up is logged as a task on the follow-up board, already tied to the job and the customer.

  5. 05

    Safety and quality issues are flagged

    Responses that meet configured severity thresholds are surfaced right away as flagged items for the Service Manager to review.

  6. 06

    Incomplete work is noted

    If the technician reports the work could not be completed, the job is marked before end of day so nothing falls through overnight.

The day before. The day after.

Same moments. Lived differently.

  • 4:30 PM

    Before

    End of field day. The Service Manager opens the checklist submissions. Thirty jobs, thirty raw form responses to read through one by one.

    After

    Thirty jobs submitted. Field Close has already tagged each one, created follow-up tasks for the flagged items, and pushed the safety issue to the top of the queue.

  • 5:00 PM

    Before

    Three jobs have follow-up items buried in free-text notes. Two need tasks created by hand. One safety flag almost goes unnoticed on page two of a long submission.

    After

    The Service Manager opens the review. Flagged items are at the top, incomplete work is marked, follow-up tasks are already on the board tied to the right jobs.

  • 5:30 PM

    Before

    One job where the tech could not complete the work was submitted without a clear note. The Service Manager finds out when the customer calls the next morning.

    After

    Review complete. No tasks created by hand, no digging through free-text. The board reflects what actually happened today.

  • 6:00 PM

    Before

    Follow-up tasks created by hand for the jobs caught. Two submissions still unread. The board gets updated tomorrow.

    After

    The job where the work could not be finished is already marked before anyone in the office touched it. Customer outreach scheduled for tomorrow morning.

What it doesn’t do

The edges we drew on purpose.

A product that tries to do everything ends up doing nothing well. Here’s what we left out, and why we don’t feel bad about it.

  • ×Does not reassign or reschedule incomplete jobs automatically.
  • ×Does not contact the customer about follow-up items or incomplete work.
  • ×Does not score or rank technician performance from checklist data.
